A new musical about growing up and growing old (in no particular order), Kimberly Akimbo is the winner of five Tony Awards, including Best Musical.
Kimberly is about to turn 16 and recently moved with her family to a new town in suburban New Jersey. She is forced to navigate family dysfunction, a rare genetic condition, her first crush…and possible felony charges. Ever the optimist, she is determined to find happiness against all odds and embark on a great adventure.

Here’s how the ticket lottery works:
All times are MST.
A separate drawing is held for each performance.
The discounted tickets are $31 — $25 plus a $6 service fee.
To enter the ticket lottery, you will need to do the following:
Create a Lucky Seat account or login to an existing one.
Select which performances you want to enter (or you select them all.)
MHOTC Tip: For the best odds of winning, choose “Select All” — assuming your schedule is flexible and you’re able to attend any of the performances. You can only win once.
Winners cannot transfer the tickets to someone else. You need to present a photo ID to pick up your tickets at the Will Call window.
Select whether you want one (1) or two (2) tickets. MHOTC Tip: If you’re going alone, look for another solo ticket seeker and partner up. It will double your chances of winning, if you each enter for two tickets rather than one.
